Application led May 9, 1914. Serial No. 837,548.

To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, DANIEL B. GAnLowar, a citizen of the United States,residing at Corydon, in the county of Henderson and State of Kentucky,have invented a new and useful Flue Connection, of which the followingis a specification.

This invention relates to flue connections for stoves.

An object of the present invention is to proiide a flue connection suchthat the stove pipe will not be required to make any short turns such aswould interfere with the draft and cause an accumulation of soot withinthe pipe.

A further object is to provide a flue connection which communicates withthe interior of a chimney or flue and with the aXis of the flueconnection at an angle to the axis of the chimney which approximates astraight angle.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as thedescription p-roceeds, the invention resides in the combination andarrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafterdescribed and claimed, it being understood that changes in the preciseembodiment of the invention herein disclosed, can be made within thescope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of theinvention.

In the drawings accompanying this speciication and forming a partthereof, the preferred form of my invention has been illustrated, inwhich Figure l is a view in perspective of my improved flue connection,showing the same mounted upon a chimney and a portion of a stove to moreclearly illustrate the manner in which the stove pipe communicates withthe device. Fig. 2 is a vertical view in section, taken through thelongitudinal axis of the flue connection and flue illustrated in Fig. l.Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a somewhat modiiedform.

Referring to the drawings in which similar reference numerals designatecorresponding parts throughout the several views, 3 represents a chimneyof the usual type which is provided with the opening 4 therein, the saidopening being of oval or elliptical contour approximating the line ofintersection of a cylinder with a plane to which it is angularlydisposed.

A stove 5 of the conventional type is illustrated and is provided withthe vertically extending flue 6. My improved flue connection which isadapted to connect the flue 6 with the chimney 3, includes the flatchimney plate 7 which is provided with the opening S extendingtherethrough and extending through which opening is the p-ipe 9, theaxis of which is disposed at a slight angle to the plane of the plate 7.In fact the angle approximates as closely as practical, a straightangle. The pipe 9 projects through and beyond the opening in the plate 7and with its eXtreme end `bent back against the rear surface of the saidplate and securely riveted or otherwise fastened thereto as illustratedin Fig. 2.

A somewhat modified form of the device illustrated in Fig. 3 discloses aconstruction in which the pipe 9 is formed integral with the flatchimney plate, thus obviating all joints in the device and insuring arigid and tight construction. The angle of the pipe in the modified formis also inclined at a very slight angle to the vertical, thus allowing ashort connecting flue 10 to be utilized to connect the vertical flue 6with the pipe 9. This prevents the accumulation of soot as the linegases do notl make any sharp turns, the soot is maintained in suspensionin the gas and carried away therewith. The opening 4 in the side wall ofthe chimney is of suflicient diameter so as not to interfere with thefree ow of gases from the pipe 9 into the chimney.

The flat chimney plate -7 is provided with a plurality of apertures 11extending therethrough, through which extend the securing nails 12, thelatter being driven into the mortar 13 by means of which the bricks ofthe chimney are held together.

I-Iaving thus fully described my invention, what I claim is Thecombination with a chimney having an opening therein and a stoveadjacent the chimney and below the opening, of a plate secured to thechimney and having an opening therein in communication with the opening`in the chimney, a pipe extending through the opening and having a flangeend secured to the back face of the plate,

said pipe being inclined downwardly at an In testimony that I claim theforegoing acute angle relative to the plate and termias my own, I havehereto afIiXed my signanating above the lower end of the plate, ture inthe presence of two witnesses.

and a stove pipe section extending from the DANIEL B. GALLOWAY. i stoveand having an inclined upper end Witnesses:
